Hollywood wants the vaccine. And it is ready (almost) for anything

Where reality ends and myth begins is hard to say. But, in Hollywood, sources close to actors and actresses swear the light of reason has been lost. «It seems to be inside the Hunger Games», he confessed to Variety an entertainment executive, explaining how VIPs’ mad rush for vaccine has taken on the grotesque forms of a survival game. “They offered us money. We have seen people taking planes to the most diverse locations. We have seen others try to temporarily access the medical profession or home nurse status in order to have access to the vaccine, “confirmed Dr. Robert Huizenga, of Beverly Hills, stating that he had received offers for ten thousand dollars from” members of the film industry desperate for the anti-Covid vaccine ».

Who the aforementioned members are, Huizenga did not say. But the thesis that Hollywood was looking for a para-legal shortcut to obtain the vaccine has been confirmed by many parties. Allen Shapito, former CEO of the company that broadcasts the Golden Globes, would have flown to Miami, Florida, where residency is not required to have the vaccine, so as not to have to wait for what is requested in California. What, this, he would have done instead Harrison Ford.

The 78-year-old actor lined up outside a school in Torrence, California to get his injection. The procedure took two hours, and as many he asked for Arnold Schwarzenegger, 73, which in Los Angeles has chosen to comply with the same rules that apply to the “ordinary” population. Frank Marshall, 74, Oscar-nominated producer for Seabiscuit e Viola Color, got vaccinated in an East LA supermarket while Steve Martin documented his wait at the Javitz Center in New York on Twitter.

In Hollywood, therefore, not everyone has chosen to exploit power and wealth. Some, a few, have behaved like good citizens, respecting rules that Huizenga has defined as “fallacious”. “You can’t blame individuals, it’s the government that has set up a terrible system,” the doctor’s judgment.
